tcptraceroute: Specify the local source port and source address.
$ tcptraceroute ${host} -p ${source_port} -s ${source_address}
try on your machine
The command "tcptraceroute ${host} -p ${source_port} -s ${source_address}" is used to execute a traceroute using TCP packets instead of the default ICMP packets.
Let's break down the command:
- "tcptraceroute" is the name of the command or utility used to perform a TCP traceroute.
- "${host}" represents the target host or IP address you want to trace the route to. You should replace "${host}" with the actual hostname or IP address.
- "-p ${source_port}" specifies the source port number that will be used in the TCP packets. You should replace "${source_port}" with the desired source port number.
- "-s ${source_address}" specifies the source IP address that will be used in the TCP packets. You should replace "${source_address}" with the desired source IP address.
Overall, this command allows you to perform a traceroute using TCP packets with custom source port and source IP address.
